The Problem

Proper disposal of expired or unused medications is a growing problem nationwide. Unused medication can find it's way into our communities. Throwing them away in the garbage—even when concealed by kitty litter or coffee grounds—can make them available to unintended users. Drug take-back events are infrequent and may not be accessible to some residents.

Who should use ElementMDS?

The Solution

Element MDS was created to help eliminate these problems – with a method that’s easy, safe and affordable. While Element MDS was originally created for hospice and health care organizations, it is now available to everyone who wishes to safely and easily dispose of unused medication. With the introduction of Element MDS Ready-Packs, you can now dispose medications in your own home with the same Element MDS used by community coalitions, law enforcement agencies, landfill organizations and others across the nation.

Easy to use!

Simple, straightforward steps to dispose of your unused medication properly.

Element MDS Ready-Pack (100 Packets)

  • Step 2

    Empty medications from their original packaging into the pouch, leaving enough space for water to be added and the pouch to be closed.

  • Step 3

    Add water to the pouch until it is just above the medication.
    Seal the pouch tightly.

  • Step 4

    Shake the pouch vigorously, then place the sealed pouch into a standard trash receptacle.
